Simply Window Blinds

Where Will the Blind Hang - Exact or Recess?

We can make your blinds to fit within the recess of your window or it can hang over the whole recess.

Exact - Take this measurement if you want your blind to hang covering the whole window recess. Your blind will be made to exactly this size.

Recess - Take this measurement if you want your blind to fit inside the window recess. Your blind will be made to fit into the recess perfectly - you do not need to make any adjustments.

Take all your measurements in centimetres (cm) to the nearest 0.1cm. If your measurements are in inches, you can convert them into centimetres using our conversion calculator.

Three simple steps to a recess measurement (inside the window recess) :

1. Measure the width of the recess from wall to wall in three places as shown in the diagram. Note down the shortest of the three measurements.

2. Measure the drop by taking the measurement from the top of the recess to the window sill in three places as shown in the diagram. Note down the shortest measurement.
